Thread.sleep() help, how does it decide which thread to sleep?

[Leon945]

Hi,
I've been having some problems on an application where some timeouts are occurring, i think it may have something to do with the fact that i use Thread.sleep() in some processes.

The question is, if i have a bunch of threads running at the same time how does this class decide which Thread to sleep?

Thread.sleep() paused the current thread, which is the calling thread to be more specific.

Hi,

I thought the same thing but i'm not sure that's correct.
sleep() is a static method of the class Thread, so, how does it know which Thread to sleep??
